Lionel Messi has been ruled out of Argentina’s friendly against Morocco on Tuesday due to a groin injury picked up against Venezuela on Friday.
The Barca captain made his first appearance for his country since the World Cup on Friday in their 3-1 defeat at the Wanda Metropolitano.
However, not only did Argentina lose, they also saw Messi pick up a minor problem.
Barcelona also confirmed the news in a short statement on their website.
“Lionel Messi did not have the return to international action that he would have wanted, and an injury picked up on Friday night means he will miss Argentina’s game against Morocco on Tuesday.
